Operating profit reaches GBP 1.3 billion
The figure covers the six months ended June 30, 2026, and represents a 24 percent increase from the comparable first half. Aviva linked the performance to progress with the Direct Line integration and growth across its core businesses, as stated in the same H1 update by Aviva.
Dividend rises to 14.0 pence
The interim dividend increased 7 percent to 14.0 pence per share, with payment scheduled for October 15, 2026. That distribution gives the earnings improvement a direct shareholder component, while the six-year run of financial performance cited by Aviva adds a longer comparison point to the H1 result.
Stock sits below the yearly high
Aviva stock remains 5.4 percent below its 52-week high of GBp 740.60, while the 52-week low stands at GBp 590.60. The current quote is therefore closer to the top of its annual range than to the bottom, but the daily gain of 0.40 percent remains modest.
